Donald Trump Jr. Is Trying To Make Republican Primary As Stupid As Possible - Farron Balanced

[TexasTowelie]

Donald Trump, Jr. is hellbent on making the Republican primary as stupid as humanly possible, and late last week he shared a deepfake video of Ron DeSantis superimposed onto Steve Carrell's character of Michael Scott from The Office, where Carrell's character is humiliated by his coworkers for wearing a lady's pantsuit. The video shared by Junior had DeSantis's face and voice saying Scott's lines, and his supporters ate it up. Junior also took a shot at DeSantis for his heeled boots that he's so fond of. Farron Cousins explains why this will be the absolute dumbest primary battle we've ever seen.

Folks, we have already begun what is going to be the dumbest presidential primary on the Republican side that we have ever seen. Like if you thought 2016, you know, which actually started in 2015, you thought that was bad with Donald Trump coming out and basically stealing the show and everything, just getting dumber from there. Now you've seen nothing yet. And the reason we know it's going to get dumber is because we now have things like deep fakes and artificial intelligence that, uh, pro-Trump groups are using to try to trash his opponents. Specifically, of course, Ron DeSantis. And this past Friday, Donald Trump Jr. Got into the game and he shared a deep fake video, which unfortunately, for copyright reasons we can't show. But if you wanna see it, it is in the link in the description of this video. So I'll just have to describe it for now, unless you wanna watch that and then come right back.

But anyway, for those who haven't seen it, it was Rhonda San's face and voice like his, his voice superimposed onto Steve Carell's character of Michael Scott from the Office. And in the clip where they've switched out Michael Scott with Ron DeSantis was a clip where Michael Scott was of course being berated by his, uh, coworkers for accidentally wearing a lady's pantsuit instead of a man's suit. So the coworkers were mocking him and he was humiliated and they switched out his voice with Ron DeSantis reading the same lines. And Don Jr shared that clip along with a quote that said, DeSantis does seem to spend a lot of time in high heels, followed by three, laughing, crying, smiley face emojis. But the video, of course, is, is not real. It's fake. And, and Ron DeSantis for all of his faults, um, well he does kind of like to wear boots that make 'em look a little bit taller.

Like as a not super tall guy myself, I empathize with that a little bit. But at the same time, this is what we're going to be dealing with in this primary. Do you know why? Do you know why it's gonna be stupid stuff like these deep fake videos instead of policy talk? Because all of these idiots believe the same thing. There is not a a, a hair's breath of difference between Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, or Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or Asa Hutchinson. All of these idiots on the right believe in the exact same thing. So we are not gonna get discussions on policy. We're not gonna get a real conversation going or real debate about who differs on what issue because they all agree on the same thing. And because of that, because they all agree, they of course can't attack somebody for supporting something when they themselves also support it. So we're gonna go to the stupid talk. We're gonna go to the deep fake videos. We're gonna go to the AI images that show their opponents doing all sorts of scandalous things. That's where we are, probably not just with the Republican primary, but

In politics in general. They don't want to talk policy. At least the Republicans don't because they don't have policy. And the policy they do have is absolutely horrendous and not supported by a majority of people. So we're gonna see these stupid videos emerge and people like Donald Trump Jr. Are going to push them out there. And even though most people understood that that was a scene from the office, I guarantee you there were plenty of Trump supporters who believed that that was actually a thing that actually happened and was caught on tape. I guarantee you some of his supporters believed it was real. And I know that because you can actually go through the comments and see people saying like, oh my God, when did this happen? That's what's terrifying about this.
